Model Railroading > Locomotive Wall display Case

Looking to get some Wall Hanging multi-shelf locomotive display case with sliding plexiglass doors. Any suggestions?

You can build one with a table saw and glue. T chop saw and drill might speed things up a bit.

Someone in the club might do a weekend work session with you to get it all cut out then you can take it home to finish and assemble it. Any of the plastics places can provide the Lexan and cut it for a reasonable fee. They might even finish the edges for you.

I built this one about 20yrs ago. Not too difficult if you have the tools. I used 3/16" thick glass for the sliding doors - just cut grooves in the top and bottom for the doors to slide in. I don't recommend ballasting the track - that was a pita!:-)

I got these two from Tracksidedisplays.com They ran me about $480 shipped I think. They are the X-52 model.

Shipping can be salty. I bought mine at a train show and carted it home. If you go to a big enough train show, there is usually someone there that makes and sells them.

Ted - Talk with James Pierce of Plummer Creek Woodworking down in Plummer, Idaho. He's been building and selling cases like that for years and he's right nearby. He might even make it to the Spokane or Helena shows. If you need contact information drop me a PM.

Maybe he will make the NMRA convention in Portland, OR!

sfdisplays on Ebay has some pretty decent quality cases with plexiglass covers. I can get about 18 HO scale locomotives into each one of mine. They come in a variety of finishes, and are less than $100 each shipped. I'm very happy with the four that I have.

Hi Sean,
On these display cases does the plexiglass doors slide and does the case come with locks. I am interested in the $92 ho display cases.
Thanks, TT

About 45$ in material..
